15 courses with the subject INES, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Systems. (3) Selected topics in civil and environmental engineering, earth sciences, engineering management, biology, chemistry, economics, or public policy. May be cross-listed with advanced graduate courses offered by respective departments. May be repeated for credit.
Or one of the following courses as a substitute:
teams to study relevant environmental and infrastructure problems presented through case studies. The intent of the course is to directly involve the students in ongoing urban community projects. May be repeated for credit.
Environmental Systems Course (3 credit hours)
Cross-listed Course(s): ESCI 6120. Focuses on fundamental ate Catalog 2026-2027
Cross-listed Course(s): ESCI 6130, GEOG 6130, GEOG 8130. Interactive, discussion-based course exploring effective pedagogy in the geosciences, applicable to many geoscience-related disciplines including atmospheric, ecological, oceanic, geologic, and geographic sciences. Students will explore what makes learning in the geosciences unique, teaching methods that enhance student learning, and how to create effective learning environments. Other topics include putting together lesson plans, assessing student work, and conducting pedagogical research.
Prerequisite(s): permission of instructor. Students explore the ways in which ecosystem services are measured, valued, and monetized by the society. The course is divided into three lecture modules: (a) environmental economics, (b) risk analysis and management, and (c) ecosystem services and valuation. It is appropriate for advanced graduate students with background in engineering, environmental sciences, business, and public policy.
uate Catalog 2026-2027
Cross-listed Course(s): ESCI 6222, GEOG 6222, and GEOG 8222. A multi-disciplinary course which surveys methods used to reconstruct past climates, past environments and past landscapes during the Quaternary period. Changes in past environmental conditions are discussed in light of present and future landscape predictions emphasizing both natural and human causes. Focuses on biotic and abiotic material from terrestrial and marine sediment cores, ice cores, and other proxies for past environments and past climates.
Course(s): ESCI 6227, GEOG 6227, and GEOG 8227. Ecosystem restoration has long been used as a method to return the natural structure and function to degraded ecosystems. This course examines the theory and methods used in restoration with a focus on both terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Focuses on the science and policy of ecosystem restoration and uses examples from ecosystems around the world.
Applications. (3) Cross-listed Course(s): ESCI 6229, GEOG 6229, and GEOG 8229. Examines environmental tracers in surface and subsurface hydrology (streams, lakes, and groundwater) using an applied approach. Tracer techniques include geochemical element fingerprinting, stable isotopes, and residence time estimation.
